AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MARQUETTE MI
442 PM EST TUE NOV 22 2005

...PROLONGED SIGNIFICANT WIND/WAVE/LES EVENT STARTING WED EVENING...
...TRAVEL STRONGLY DISCOURAGED ACROSS COUNTIES BORDERING LAKE
SUPERIOR WED NIGHT THROUGH THU NIGHT...

.DISCUSSION...

CURRENT WEATHER...20Z WATER VAPOR LOOP AND RUC 500MB HEIGHT ANALYSIS
SHOWED A STABLE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN WITH A RIDGE COVER MUCH OF THE
WESTERN U.S. INTO SW CANADA AND AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER MUCH OF
THE EASTERN U.S. AT THE MOMENT...UPPER MICHIGAN REMAINS IN NW FLOW
ALOFT...BUT UPSTREAM OVER NORTHERN HUDSON BAY...A 476 DAM LOW AT
500MB (ANALYZED BY THE 12Z GFS AND SEEN ON THE CORAL HARBOUR
NORTHWEST TERRITORIES SOUNDING...CYZS) CAN BE SEEN. 850MB TEMPS
UNDER THE LOW WERE AROUND -31C PER THE CYZS SOUNDING. OTHER SHRTWVS
WERE SEEN IN THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES. THESE SHRTWVS ARE ALREADY
HELPING TO PULL THIS DEEP UPPER LOW TOWARDS THE SSW ON WATER VAPOR.
CLOSER TO HOME...HIGH PRESSURE OVER WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR CONTINUES
TO BUILD OVER THE AREA...GRADUALLY DIMINISHING THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW
SHOWERS THAT HAVE BEEN ONGOING ACROSS THE EAST HALF OF THE CWA SINCE
THIS MORNING. OTHER HIGH CLOUDS ARE STREAMING TO THE SE IN THE NW
FLOW ALOFT ACROSS MINNESOTA AND NW ONTARIO. FARTHER TO THE NW...LOW
PRESSURE OF 999 MB CAN BE SEEN ACROSS NE SASKATCHEWAN WITH A
WARM FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHWARD INTO THE EASTERN DAKOTAS AND A COLD
FRONT EXTENDING TO THE NW TO NEAR YELLOWKNIFE. SOME LIGHT SNOW HAS
BEEN OCCURRING THE WARM ADVECTION AHEAD OF THE LOW ACROSS NORTHERN
MANITOBA PER SURFACE OBSERVATIONS. 12Z SOUNDING FROM CYQD (THE PAS
MANITOBA) ON THE NORTHWEST END OF LAKE WINNIPEG WAS NEARLY SATURATED
THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROFILE. PRESSURE FALLS RIGHT NOW ARE ON THE
ORDER OF 1 MB/HR IN SE MANITOBA AND NW ONTARIO...SUGGESTING THE PATH
THE LOW MAY TAKE.

TONIGHT...ONE OF THE SHRTWVS OUT OF THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES IS
PROGGED TO DROP SE TO INTERNATIONAL FALLS BY 12Z WED. THIS SHRTWV
WILL HELP PUSH THE 999MB LOW TO NEAR THUNDER BAY BY 12Z WED. DECENT
WARM ADVECTION AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM AS NOTED BY 20-25KT WINDS BELOW
850MB AT THE PROFILER NEAR GRAND FORKS SHOULD HELP EXPAND AN AREA OF
SYNOPTIC SNOW OVER MINNESOTA THIS EVENING. IT WILL TAKE A FEW HOURS
TO GET THE LOW LEVELS MOIST AS NOTED BY SURFACE OBSERVATIONS AND
KDLH RADAR...BUT FIGURE EVENTUALLY THE SNOW WILL DEVELOP AS SEEN UP
IN MANITOBA. THIS SNOW WILL SPREAD INTO THE WEST HALF OF THE U.P.
AFTER MIDNIGHT. HOWEVER...IT WILL BE LIGHT WITH ONLY 1 TO 2 INCHES
OF ACCUMULATION. OTHER CONCERN IS LAKE EFFECT FROM LAKE MICHIGAN.
850MB TEMPS ARE STILL PROGGED TO BE AROUND -10C AT 06 AND 12Z WED
AND WITH WINDS TURNING TO THE SSW LATE...EXPECT THAT SOME LAKE
EFFECT BANDS WILL FORM. WIND DIRECTIONS MAINLY FAVORS AREAS FROM THE
GARDEN PENINSULA EASTWARD. TEMPERATURES SHOULD NOT DROP THAT MUCH AS
CLOUDS COME IN PRETTY QUICK (SOME ALREADY OVER THE FAR WEST).

WEDNESDAY...NEXT SHRTWV DROPS DOWN OUT OF THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES
WHICH REALLY HELPS TO PULL DOWN THE UPPER LOW NEAR HUDSON BAY
TOWARDS OUR AREA. AT 00Z THU...THIS UPPER LOW SHOULD BE NEAR PICKLE
LAKE AND THE GFS SUGGESTS 850MB TEMPS OF -28C UNDERNEATH IT AT THAT
TIME. THIS INCREASE IN COLD AIR COMING DOWN ALONG WITH THE SURFACE
LOW PROGGED TO TRACK ACROSS THE WARMER WATERS OF LAKE SUPERIOR
SHOULD HELP TO DEEPEN THE LOW...AS BOTH THE GFS AND UKMET SHOW
AROUND A 985MB LOW NEAR WAWA ONTARIO AT 00Z THU. 12Z/18Z NAM IS EVEN
DEEPER AT 979MB. EXPECT SYNOPTIC AND LAKE EFFECT SNOWS TO OCCUR
DURING THE MORNING AHEAD OF THE WARM FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE
LOW...BUT THEN GRADUALLY TAPER OFF WEST TO EAST DURING THE AFTERNOON
AS THE WARM FRONT CROSSES. COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW SHOULD
START MAKING ITS TRACK ACROSS WESTERN LAKE SUPERIOR DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND INTO THE WEST HALF OF UPPER MICHIGAN LATE.
TEMPERATURES WILL COOL OFF DRAMATICALLY BEHIND IT WITH LAKE EFFECT
SNOW SHOWERS DEVELOPING. ALSO...SOUNDINGS SUGGEST A HIGH WIND SPEED
MAX (ORDER OF 40-50KT WITHIN A FEW 1000 FT OF THE SURFACE) TO COME
IN IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE FRONT...PROBABLY ASSOCIATED WITH A RAPID
PRESSURE RISE. THEREFORE HAVE STARTED GALES ON THE WESTERN HALF OF
SUPERIOR LATE IN THE AFTERNOON. IT IS CONCEIVABLE TO EVEN HAVE STORM
FORCE WINDS BY 00Z.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT...THIS WILL BE THE MAIN EVENT
TIME FRAME FOR VERY HAZARDOUS WEATHER. ALL MODELS SHOW THE UPPER LOW
DROPPING SOUTHEAST ACROSS LAKE SUPERIOR AFTER MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY
NIGHT WITH A 500MB HEIGHT AROUND 495 DAM. 500MB STANDARD DEVIATIONS
FOR THIS UPPER LOW MOVING ACROSS LAKE SUPERIOR AT THIS TIME OF YEAR
ARE ON THE ORDER OF -3.5 TO -4...WHICH IS REFERRED TO AS A RECORD
BREAKING EVENT. 850MB TEMPS PLUMMET TO -20 TO -25C...AND WITH LAKE
TEMPERATURES AT 6C...EXTREME INSTABILITY WILL BE GENERATED ON THE
LAKE. THEREFORE WIDESPREAD LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED.
LAKE INDUCED CAPES FOR STANNARD ROCK WEDNESDAY NIGHT ARE ON THE
ORDER OF 1800 J/KG...SO LIGHTNING MAY ALSO OCCUR. HAVE NOT THROWN
THIS IN THE FORECAST YET...BUT MAY NEED TO BE PUT IN AT A LATER TIME
IF RUNS CONTINUE TO SHOW THIS DEEP COLD AIR MOVING ACROSS.
ALSO...PLENTY OF MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO COME IN WITH THE UPPER
LOW...SO NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT DRY AIR HAVING A DIMINISHING IMPACT.
WINDS GRADUALLY SHIFTING TO THE NORTH THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT
WILL BRING THE NW ORIENTED BANDS WED NIGHT MORE INTO THE NORTH
CENTRAL U.P. ON THANKSGIVING.

NEXT ISSUE IS THE STRONG WINDS. WITH SUCH A COLD AIR MASS MOVING
ACROSS THE LAKE...STRONG LAKE TROUGHING WILL DEVELOP ALONG THE
EASTERN LAKE SUPERIOR/LAKE HURON SHORELINE...HOLDING UP THE
DEEPENING LOW MENTIONED ON WEDNESDAY. BY 12Z THU...THE GFS/NAM/UKMET
ALL SHOW A LOW AROUND 979MB NEAR GEORGIAN BAY WITH A 1027MB HIGH
DROPPING SOUTH FROM MANITOBA. THIS TIGHT GRADIENT WILL EASILY RESULT
IN STORM FORCE WINDS ON LAKE SUPERIOR AND HIGH WIND WARNING CRITERIA
ALONG THE LAKE SUPERIOR SHORELINES. WITH LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS
GOING SO STRONG...POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WEDNESDAY
NIGHT...ESPECIALLY FOR THE NW SNOW BELTS. THESE WINDS WILL ALSO HELP
DRIVE THE SNOW FARTHER INLAND AND CREATE SIGNIFICANT BLOWING AND
DRIFTING OF SNOW. EXPECTING WINDS TO GRADUALLY DIMINISH THURSDAY
EVENING AS THE UPPER AND SURFACE LOWS HEAD OFF TO THE EAST.

TEMPERATURES ARE PROGGED WEDNESDAY NIGHT TO DIP DOWN INTO THE TEENS
AND WITH THE WINDS AS STRONG AS THEY ARE...WIND CHILLS WILL DROP
INTO THE SINGLE DIGITS BELOW ZERO...ADDING TO THE MESS. LITTLE
DIURNAL CHANGE FOR THURSDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT IS EXPECTED AS THE
COLD AIR LINGERS.

LASTLY...THE STRONG WINDS WILL RESULT IN WAVE HEIGHTS APPROACHING 25
FEET ON EASTERN LAKE SUPERIOR BY THURSDAY MORNING. HAVE NOT ISSUED
ANY LAKESHORE FLOOD WATCH SINCE THERE ARE VERY FEW PLACES IMPACTED
BY HIGH WAVES. WILL NEED A LAKESHORE FLOOD STATEMENT PROBABLY DURING
THE NEXT FORECAST PACKAGE HIGHLIGHTING BEACH EROSION POTENTIAL.

DUE TO THE HIGH AMOUNT OF TRAVEL DURING THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY AND
THE HIGH AMOUNT OF CONFIDENCE OF THE EVENT OCCURRING...HAVE DECIDED
TO UPGRADE THE WATCHES TO WARNINGS NOW. SEE LATEST ARBWSWMQT (WMO ID
WWUS43 KMQT) FOR LOCAL HAZARD INFORMATION.

FRIDAY...UPPER LEVEL TROUGHING IS PROGGED TO REMAIN OVER UPPER
MICHIGAN THOUGH 850MB TEMPS WILL BE WARMER (-14 TO -16C).
NONETHELESS...STILL EXPECT LAKE INDUCED TROUGHING TO PERSIST ALONG
LAKE SUPERIOR...RESULTING IN MORE NUMEROUS SNOW SHOWERS ALONG THE
NORTHERN U.P. WITH SCATTERED SNOW ACROSS THE SOUTH HALF. WARMER
850MB TEMPS WILL RESULT IN A LITTLE WARMER SURFACE TEMPS TOO.

EXTENDED (SATURDAY THROUGH TUESDAY)...LONG RANGE MODELS HAVE BEEN A
LITTLE INCONSISTENT ON HOW THE PATTERN WILL SHAPE UP FOR THE WEEKEND
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. 00Z UKMET AND 21/12Z ECMWF SUGGESTED A SHRTWV
TROUGH MOVING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES DURING THE SUNDAY AND MONDAY
TIME FRAME. HOWEVER...00Z ECMWF AND 00Z/06Z GFS RUNS NOW PAINT A
DIFFERENT PICTURE...SUGGESTING THAT THE SHRTWV TROUGH THAT WAS GOING
TO MOVE THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES WILL NOW DIG MUCH MORE INTO THE
WESTERN U.S...RESULTING IN RIDGING ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES SUNDAY AND
MONDAY. WITH SUCH A BIG CHANGE...THE EXTENDED IS A LITTLE
UNCERTAIN...BUT WILL FOLLOW THE TREND IDEA OF THE ECMWF AND THUS
FOLLOW THE 06Z GFS FOR DETAILS. 06Z GFS WAS ALSO FOLLOWED BY HPC.
12Z GFS IS VERY SIMILAR.

UPPER LEVEL RIDGE THAT HAS BEEN OVER THE WESTERN STATES WILL BE
PUSHED EASTWARD DUE TO A COUPLE OF STRONG SHRTWVS PLOWING INTO IT.
THE FIRST ONE WHICH WAS MENTIONED EARLIER WILL DIG DOWN INTO THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS BY SUNDAY. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR THE RIDGE AXIS TO
MOVE TO UPPER MICHIGAN BY SUNDAY EVENING. THEREFORE...SOUTHEASTERLY
WINDS ON THE BACK SIDE OF HIGH PRESSURE ALONG THE EAST COAST SHOULD
DOMINATE THE WEEKEND. NORMALLY THIS WOULD YIELD A DRY
WEEKEND...ESPECIALLY WITH THE LACK OF ANY SIGNIFICANT SHRTWVS.
HOWEVER...EVEN SATURDAY MORNING OUR 850MB TEMPS ARE AT -11 TO
-13C...STILL COLD ENOUGH TO PRODUCE LAKE EFFECT OFF OF LAKES
SUPERIOR AND MICHIGAN. 06Z GFS SOUNDINGS FOR ESC LOOK SOMEWHAT
IMPRESSIVE FOR LAKE EFFECT SO THEREFORE HAVE MAINTAINED A CHANCE OF
SNOW SHOWERS FOR THE EASTERN HALF OF THE U.P. THROUGH SUNDAY
MORNING. SHRTWV TROUGH IN SOUTHERN PLAINS WILL THEN EXIT NE INTO
THE OHIO VALLEY FOR TUESDAY...KEEPING UPPER MICHIGAN IN SE TO EAST
FLOW FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY. THEREFORE...HAVE KEPT CONDITIONS DRY AT
THE MOMENT.  NEW 12Z ECMWF SUGGESTS POTENTIAL FOR A RAIN SYSTEM LATE
MON AND TUE...BUT WILL WAIT FOR FURTHER RUNS UNTIL CHANGING THE
FORECAST.

COLDEST DAY EXPECTED TO BE SATURDAY WITH THE COOL 850MB TEMPS...BUT
NEARLY AS COOL AS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. WARMING TREND THEN THROUGH
THE WEEKEND AS THE UPPER RIDGE APPROACHES.
